Hey folks,
Hello from Beantown. I was all set on a Z800 or FZ07 when my colleague sent me a $6000 out of door deal for a 2013 Strada at a dealer in Long Island.
Called in the next day, deposit down, booked a flight and rode that puppy back to Boston after
Fun stuff to get the bike back to Boston
-the dealer was a stickler with MA rules about registering a bike before getting a temp plate... so after considering trucking the bike and driving to MA and back, I simply rode out to New Haven without a plate. the dealer "delivered" the bike a block away and I "took possession" of the bike without the plate.
-buddy rode out of New Haven with the plate off my old bike and we rode back to Boston with my old plate on my new bike.
Next few days were spent bitching about the clutch and marveling at how much extra power it was over a CBR300. Quickly ordered sliders and racks to use with my Givi E22s and Trekkers. I'll be roaring about Boston on my new love.
Have a strange clutch problem. Posted in mechanical. Wondering if anyone can help.
Cheers!
